He is also known for his philanthropic work, as he has donated to various causes and helped to build a music school in Nigeria.
He said, “My dad built me the best studio in Nigeria. Wizkid, D’banj, I mean, everybody used to come there.
“I have the best studio but the studio is only open every two weeks because of school. So, I come every two weeks and everybody would come over.
“Funny enough, that time I wasn’t even recording my music. Like I said, I was learning sound engineering. So, I had people come over to the studio to record. I always give people ideas on how to sing hooks. And my boys started realising that, bro you are better than all these people.
“I was like, no, I’m still in school. They insisted that I should try. And I said, okay. The first song I recorded, blows up.”
